Like most older people, I still have more accumulated things than I can use. Now that my family is not a factor, this is an outline of the first wave of things to eliminate.
1. What remains in my 10' x 10' self-storage unit.
2. What is stored in my 10' x 10' yard shed, not what I intend to leave for the next buyer of this house.
3. All kinds of household items to either donate, sell, or discard.
4. Clothing destined for recycled fabric, donated, or discarded.
What would remain would be adequate personal items, clothing, footwear, my art supplies, a couple of guitars, and the recording masters I wish to archive. One panel U-haul at most. If I had a helper to encourage me, it could be done in a reasonable amount of time. Also, keep the cost of making the change reasonable.
Then I could research which State would be the most retiree-friendly with a moderate but interesting climate, open vistas, and four seasons without freezing me or roasting me to death. I have traveled some and have some ideas, just need to fill in the blanks. pixabay photos
